Re: First resto project boat, question about foaming and draining.
I'd also like to add that I cut my stringers based on the ones I cut out and placed them back in the lines on he hull where they had been previously. This made getting my deck height perfect and true difficult. There are just too may variables. When you cut them off the hull it won't be a perfect cut at the hull. Then you try to account for a ?" gap. Then they probably won't get placed back in exactly the correct spot, and the gap may not be perfect, etc. Next time I will use the old stringers as templates, but make them a few inches too tall. Bed in place, then use a string line to mark deck height and cut it. I highly recommend doing yours that way.
